The theme developed is a family affair, and so the vocabulary is essentially domestic. In this vocabulary of over sixteen hundred words, many of the phrases and expressions appear again and again in the natural fashion of every-day speech. The text used is that found in Book I of the four-volume edition, "Obras de D. Manuel E. de Gorostiza," México, 1899. From the standpoint of typography this text is lamentably inexact. The necessary corrections have been made, and the accentuation is in accordance with the latest rulings of the Royal Spanish Academy. For the sake of the student one or two passages have been omitted. Much work has been left to be done by those who read the play as prepared. The Spanish-English vocabulary is limited in most cases to defining the word as it occurs in the text, and frequently only an approximation of the meaning has been attempted. For instance, the English equivalents of the same Latin origin as the sonorous Spanish terms that are used so naturally by the man-servant Bruno and the garrulous Nicolasa would be strangers to the lips of English-speaking individuals of corresponding station. There has been added a series of questions and topics (Preguntas y Temas) that may serve as suggestions for exercises in composition. The questions follow the thread of the story, but they are not meant to be exhaustive, while the number of topics for descriptive paragraphs or additional dialogue can readily be increased
